Real estate taxes were hiked from 28 mills to 35 mills and a new residence tax of $5 was introduced. The board voted to retain the $5 per capita tax.

Action Planned To Halt Epidemic Of False Alarms Efforts to reduce the number of false alarms turned in to Beth lehem fire stations will be made the latter part of this week when Fire Chief John Schweder confers with city officials. Schweder said last night that he will meet with Councilman Paul Ruyak, safety commissioner, and Joseph Daday, Bethle hem's chief electrician, to exchange ideas on revamping the 300 alarm boxes now in use. The decision was made, Schweder re ported, as the result of many false fire alarms turned in within the past few weeks, 75 per cent of them by children between the ages of 5 and 11. The latest alarm was set off by a 5-year-old boy Monday at the Kaywin St. and Dale Ln.

box. The youngster reportedly stood on his tricycle to pull down the box handle to trip the switch. All the boxes being tripped are of the quick action variety, Schweder said, with no glass breakage necessary. A possible solution to the problem, he said, might be enclosing the boxes or inserting screws in the handles.

OWit firm Ta Suit Taar ladaat S3 fflBU despite warnings of city officials given a 'year ago that they "may collapse at any time." In order to give teeth to the city's mandate, council, sitting as a board of health, had said it would declare "findings of fact" to substantiate its claim that they should be removed. Action Delayed Issuance of these "findings of fact," a legal requisite, has not been forthcoming, particularly because those charged with the responsibility of both properties have tried to sell them but in vain. Ruyak now feels that it's about time is done about Residents Parsons, himself a Pen Argyl resident in detailing the new program to the several pro pert owners, explained that taxes should not be increased severely as a result of the new assessment Should 'Reduce Millage Millage rates, it was pointed out, should be reduced proportionately to compensate for the new assessment program. The commissioners noted that the Pen Argyl school millage, now Clearance must be obtained from the Easton Area Communi ty Fund before the extent of the expansion and the amount of funds to be sought can be determined, and architectural and other details must be agreed on before the drive can get under way, Hellick said. The campaign is being undertaken with the enthusiastic back ing of Easton residents.

A sur vey, which has been in progress several weeks, showed that 95 per cent of some 1,500 questionnaires returned indicated the residents would like to see the Easton Hos pital plant enlarged and Im proved. Hails Survey Results Hellick said the results show a clear understanding of the progress and problems of providing health protection today. The last expansion program for the hospital was undertaken in 1951 at a cost of IVi million dol lars. It involved construction of a new west wing and renovations to the old building. Part of the cost was met by federalid un der the Hill-Burton Act and part was raised in a community fund drive.

Signals Asked At Five Points In Palmer Twp. Palmer Townships Lions Club Monday night asked the township board of supervisors to place a five-traffic signal light system 25th and Northampton Sts. the five points intersection. The request was made in a pe tition signed by 125 residents. Charles E.

Kelly, vice president, asked the club to take the re quest directly to the State High ways Department in Allentown. He said the board would have more time to study the matter if it was first taken into considera tion by the Kenneth Hall, president of the Lions Club, said the signal sys tem would cost about SIO.000 to install and $1,500 annually for maintenance.

Monday when the' traffic light there signaled traffic in both directions to stop. The red signal remained on for nearly three" minutes until the all clear signal was given. But motorists, said Ruyak, didn't wait. They proceeded through the red light after only waiting a moment. More Park Police Council yesterday agreed to a six-man park police force to cope with the city's expanded recrea tional program.

A cruiser car which was to be traded in on a new vehicle will be retained so that the special force will have two cars at its disposal, insead of one. to allow for coverage on both sides of the Lehigh River. Parks Supt. Thomas Joyce asked for more men, declaring the present staff (one permanent all-year-round officer and one part-time officer) cannot fill the bill. Both are bow stationed at the municipal golf course and at Monocacy Park.

"During weekends and holidays. our parks and pools are overcrowded, causing traffic tieups and no police," he declared. The increased staff will work while pools and parks are open. Three will patrol the south end of the city Saucoa and Indian parks and other recreational areas, and three will be at the golf course, the new memorial pool and at Monocacy Park. They will be outfitted with uni forms discarded by those of the city police department Some are in "very good condition, Joyce said.

Instead of trading in the cruiser for $350, the city will now keep it. This vehicle, and the one now in use. have radio contact with the police bureau. Ball Field Approved A Little League diamond for Clearview playground will be pro vided for, council promised yesterday in answer to the request of Northwest Bethlehem Civic Council.

Commercial use of the memorial pool is contrary to city policy. Stone's department store, which had wanted to stage a fashion show there either next Sunday or June 16, will be told. 'No Right to Protest' Bird told council yesterday that owners of land adjoining the 34-acre Kaywin site eyed for a shop ping center have "no right to protest the center" as the site was shown on an approved plan prior to purchase of homes there. A major portion of the center's site is shown on the plan of section 3 of Kaywin home builders and approved back in 1952. Other people.

Bird said, would have a legal right to object but such objections should only be considered in light of the proj ect's affect uoon comprehensive city planning.

The class and some 500 parents and friends attending commence ment exercises in the high school auditorium were addressed by Murray Alexander Cayley, lectur cr of Rochester, N. Y.

Speaking on the theme, "What Are You Living For?" Cayley drew upon the historian Charles Beard, who summarized the philosophy of living in four categories. In the first of these, "the bee fertilizes the flower which it robs," Cayley pointed out that "some experiences which seem to rob us actually make us grow. Full fruition of life comes out of the sting." He cited the experience of a great athlete who lost both hands in World War II but found his purpose in life by lec turing to other handicapped per sons. Cayley said that "runaway emotions destroy the individual," in discussing the second category, "emotional maturity." He used the phrase he makes me mad" in pointing out to class members that "if you are emotionally developed to the point where you can reason, no one should make you mad." In the third category, "The mills of time grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine," Cayley said, "they bring out the fine flour of character. If you have the stuff in you, it doesn't matter how life grinds you and if you have the tenacity to see something through it doesn't make any difference how difficult the task may be." For the final category, "When it's dark enough see the stars," Cayley declared, "When one has reached the very depth of despair he will look up to see where the light of the stars originates." Honor Students Speak Honor students who centered their talks on the general theme "How Shall I Live?" were Nancy J.

Ruth, who spoke on "By Spiritual Laws;" Joan L. Voght, "By Trath;" Karol Strelecki, "By Self-Reliance;" Robert D. SteUen, "By Intellect," and Ethel M. Keller, "By Understanding." Diplomas were presented by Elmer F. Greene, supervising principal.
